The findings in Table 5.7show that the life expectancy at birth was 50.4 years. In comparison with previousestimates, the current findings suggest that there was a gain of 2.3 years in an 11-year period (1991 - 2002), while between 1969 to 1991, there was only a gain of 1.6years. The estimates derived from the 2002 census suggest slight improvement in thehealth status of the population especially among children.Table 5.7: Life Expectancy at Birth by Census Year and Sex, 1969 - 2002Census Year Male Female Total1969 46.0 47.0 46.51991 45.7 50.5 48.12002 48.8 52.0 50.4It should be noted that between 1969 and 1991, the males experienced a decline inlife expectancy at birth while the female experienced a modest gain of 3.5 years. Thedifference in behavior is a reflection of exposure to excessive mortality arising out ofthe civil strife in the country in the decade preceding the census.54
Analytical ReportSummaryMarriage is the most common gateway to family formation and subsequently childbearing. The data indicate that marriage in Uganda is almost universal, and that itbegins much earlier among females than among their male counterparts. Maritalinstability is more common among females than males.Fertility levels have remained high at around 7 children per woman, with minorvariations observed by religion. However, wide differentials in fertility were observedby the level of education attained and place of residence.The mortality levels for the whole population improved slightly compared to the 1991census. The life expectancy at birth was 50.4 years a gain of 2.3 years since 1991.However, infant and childhood mortality rates remain high. The Mortality levels werehigher for males compared to females.55
